June 23, 20178 yr There are many reports in various forums that the new Virtualcol CRJs, while a big improvement over their previous stuff, are a little too "hot" in the air. There are reports of 300kias with throttles at idle, making it impossible to bleed airspeed without resorting to the speedbrakes. Rather unrealistic. As a tempoary fix until Virtualcol addresses the problem, I came up with a small tweak: I went into the aircraft.cfg and did some experimentation. Conducting test flights out of Edwards AFB, I came up with 2 simple tweaks that help quite a bit. These are: In the aircraft.cfg, find these lines: [flight_tuning] cruise_lift_scalar =1.80000 parasite_drag_scalar =1.0 After backing up your original file, change to [flight_tuning] cruise_lift_scalar =0.90000 parasite_drag_scalar =2.50000 Makes a big difference! Enjoy! If you like, please report back on your experiences!
